Virginia State Police say there are no new leads in the Morgan Harrington case, even after it was mentioned on "America's Most Wanted" Saturday.

Meanwhile, more than 1,600 volunteers searched more than 2,500 acres over the weekend.

Police say, even though several items of clothing were found, none were linked back to Morgan.

The 20-year-old Virginia Tech student was last seen October 17 while attending a Metallica concert at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville.

Her parents, Dan and Gil Harrington released a statement Monday, thanking volunteers for their efforts.

"We want to thank the many wonderful people who volunteered their time and hard work this past weekend to help search for our beloved daughter, Morgan. An area of approximately 2,600 acres was searched by teams made up of the 1,667 total registered volunteers. Your selfless generosity and continuing support have touched our hearts during an unbearably difficult time.

"We especially wish to thank the Laura Recovery Center, which organized the three-day search for Morgan, augmenting law enforcement's search and investigative efforts. More importantly, the Laura Recovery Center trained community members to continue ongoing search efforts. While no new information has yet been discovered, we have gained some peace in knowing much ground was, and will continue to be, covered during the search."

only one thing is a big possibility - DRUG. She was drugged(voluntarily taken by her or was forced to take the drug and got threatened to go with the person/s or else and the rest of the story I don't even want to emagine--- Oh, Lord I hope I'm wrong.

Agree with Kris. Start with the PC Instant Messaging log, Screen name ID's, cell phone text messaging log. Big concert, lots of pre-show chatter...come on guys get with it!! Teen agers lie, esp. when their doing something when (if) they shouldn't be...no offense to any of Morgans friends, but there is always some small detail left out of the whole picture because people don't want to get too involved with a high profile case. This sickens me.

WHSV Poll
A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
